A nose of violets and sweet musky florals, orange, dark cherry, brambly black, blue and red berries, savoury plum, dried fig, roasted beetroot, garrigue herbals, cassia bark, szechuan pepper, turned earth, graphite and roasted duck-like meatiness…there’s so much going on!In the mouth it’s a medium bodied, elegantly structured and complex expression of Australian Shiraz that marries the richness of McLaren Vale, the dark earthiness of the Pyrenees and the floral red lift of the Macedon. Textured with confident creamy tannins and deepened by a gravelly kind of minerality that gives it an old world feel.

Shiraz, or Syrah, is one of the most loved, rich and powerful red wine varieties made famous for its mineral and structured expressions from the Rhône in France and the rich and decadent fruity expressions from the Barossa Valley in Australia. Full bodied, rich in antioxidants and generously fruity, Shiraz sits proudly on the table for those that like their wine big and bold. Think violets, blackberries, plum, chocolate, pepper, black olive, liquorice, rosemary, tobacco and spice...i'm thirsty already!
